If you have chronic periodontal disease, your dentist will recommend dental scaling treatment. Your gums are drawn away from your teeth due to the formation of bacteria leading to large pockets between your teeth and gums. Bacterias continue to grow there and, if left untreated, may lead to teeth loss, loose teeth. Dental scaling in Singapore is usually an outpatient procedure, and your appointment frequency varies depending on the severity of the condition. If the severity of the scaling is more, your dentist may use anaesthetic to reduce discomfort. The procedure starts with teeth scaling, scraping plaque from the teeth, and root planing. Your dentist will recommend additional treatment based on the severity of the condition. Speak to our dentist at Kent Dental now to learn more about the dental scaling treatments.
